The only hotel on the island of Fiji to offer over-the-water bungalow accommodation, this
small but perfectly formed resort is a haven for honeymooners and couples looking for
something really special.

Upon arrival, I was greeted by a gathering of the hotel's staff singing the Fijian welcome
song, and offered a refreshing passion-fruit cocktail from a bar overlooking the lagoon.
A Likuliku necklace was then slipped around my neck and I was welcomed 'home'. OK, so
maybe this was a little on the cheesy side, but I couldn't help feeling a little bit special.

The lagoon is the perfect backdrop for The Tatadra Spa, which translates to 'house of
dreams'. With just two treatment rooms, it has a boutique feel, although the hotel does
have expansion plans. The consultants used products from the Pure Fiji range, and I was
presented with nine different fragrances to choose from for my Relax & Restore massage.
The pressure was tailored to my requirements and I was encouraged to be vocal in helping
the Masseur fine-tune the treatment to my liking. The techniques are said to activate the
body's natural healing process, enabling it to function at its best.

After the treatment, I headed back to my room feeling as light as a feather, before
spending the rest of the day relaxing around the impressive infinity pool — good book and
iPod to hand. It really is hard to image a better setting for a spa break.
